The 52nd district, which includes part of North Campus, has Rep. Pam Byrnes (D–Chelsea) seeking a third term against Republican Eric Lielbriedis and Libertarian John Boyle.
Rep. Alma Wheeler Smith (D–Ypsilanti), a former state senator, is running against Republican Tom Banks and Libertarian David Raaflaub for a third term representing the 54th district.
With the exception of Smith, the county’s incumbent state representatives ran unopposed in the primary election. Smith beat Edison Hubert, who got 24 percent of the vote in the August race.
Lonnie Scott, an aide to Smith, said the representative is considering a bid for governor in 2010 after Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s last term is up.
In the 55th district, Rep. Kathy Angerer (D–Dundee) is running for her third term against Republican Frank Moynihan. Four years ago, Angerer defeated Republican incumbent Matt Milosh by a margin in the hundreds.
